LauraGB Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Ds asked, "Mom, what's a virgin?" My immediate reaction was "What do you mean?" And he said that in the song Silent Night they talk about "round young virgins" and he didn't know what they were. :lol::lol: He laughed when I explained that those were NOT the words and explained the reference to Mary. He thought the "round young virgins" were the "Mother and Child's" helpers. :lol: So, I told dh about this, and he sat there for a second and said, "That's not what they're saying?" :001_huh: He, too, laughed for a good long while afterward.

K&Rs Mom Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 :lol: I got the same question from my then-5yo last winter - really had me worried until she explained what she was asking!

saw Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 DS 7 sings "round yon version of Mother and Child", which makes me laugh, so I haven't bothered to correct him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
